Theirs paths crossed, and connected naturally, completing one another and giving birth to Jamais Sans Toi, a contemporary jewellery laboratory. The brand name is inspired by the motto of Chiomonte, from where both Camilla and Valentina originate, right next to Val di Susa.

The coat of arms of the city represents a sun illuminating two bunches of grapes, above which is written “Jamais Sans Toi”, literally “Never without you” in ancient Occitan dialect.

Sun and grapes, these ancient elements have inspired the identification of the ball as a shape full of meaning, as an inspirational model for all the creations of JST: complex modular compositions, diligently handcrafted throughout the process of artistic ceramics. The matter, i.e. clay, is the common field of knowledge, place of evolution and constant research. 
Jamais Sans Toi unites competence and sensitivity for matter modelled in several different, ancient ways. From the meeting of these elements a modern, clean, essential design makes Jamais Sans Toi’s jewellery collections unique and recognizable. Every piece is a precise study between colour and volume. The attention for detail for every creation determines the perception of preciousness, lightness and versatility.
